Data from Lizzie's PhD and postdoc years

The NCEAS 'Forecasting Phenology' working group that Lizzie and Ben Cook led created the STONE (Synthesis of Timings Observed in iNcrease Experiments) and NECTAR (Network of Ecological and Climatological Timings Across Systems) databases.

Data and metadata from Lizzie's PhD research on the effects of non-native grass litter in coastal sage scrub communities are freely-available though the Knowledge Network for Biodiversity (KNB). GPS locations for plots are available upon request with approval from the field site's biologist.

Data resources

Phenology:

USA National Phenology Network maintains a good list of historical phenology datasets here. They also have a variety of ways to download and explore their Nature’s Notebook data.

Fitter & Fitter's dataset of first flowering dates in Chinnor, England is available with their Science article.

Washington DC's network of phenological observations since 1970 is available here, with the complete flora info.

The amazing long-term record at Gothic, Colorado, collected by David Inouye, is now hosted on the Open Science Framework (and amazingly recently recompiled by Jane Ogilvie, Brian Inouye, Nora Underwood with coding help from Leithen M’Gonigle). If you're interested contact them for how to request the data (or fill out this form).

If you live in the northeast, check out GoBotany, which has an amazing online key. Also, I keep trying to remember MADHorse (maple, ash, dogwood, horsechestnut all have opposite branching). Or U-Conn's Plant Database.
